Today, Zelda's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. 12 minutes into the match aguilas's M. Gato head butted an opponent nastily, and so the referee sent him off immediately. A loud groan was heard from the fans of Zelda, as A. Bruce left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. E. Polar took his place on the field. Down the middle came F. Llosa, making a fantastic play that nearly had Zelda take the lead after 27 minutes, but J. Milán Borja preserved the tie. A. Castro behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 35 minutes as he gave the ball away to Y. Vogiatzakis. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. G. Mijgchich had a good try after 36 minutes, coming in on a fine move from the left, but the ball went wide. After 43 minutes, Zelda put themselves up 0 - 1, as A. Junchaya finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. After a scuffle in the guests' penalty area 43 minutes into the game, the home team was awarded a penalty. J. Veerman scored to make it 1 - 1. Zelda had to make a substitution after 44 minutes. A. Junchaya limped off the field and was replaced by R. Mesta. Halftime score was 1 - 1. Zelda had most of the ball, with 57 percent of possession.

Players in Zelda heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Zelda's G. Mijgchich could have put the guests one up after 64 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but J. Milán Borja was as fast as a snake, grabbing the ball from under his nose. After 67 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by aguilas was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. 82 minutes in, Zelda's L. Callañaupa received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The cannonball from 35 metres by G. Mijgchich of Zelda was an impressive sight, but didn't make it into the net. Zelda enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 57 percent of possession.

Most important aguilas player was L. De Luca. On the other hand, M. Pawełek's play was disheartening. The most dominating Zelda player was without a doubt S. Orellana. However, A. Castro made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 1.
